Application filed December 28, 1912. Serial No. 739,693.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that l, EDWIN JpliilILL'ER,

a citizen of the United States, residing Tziylorvillc. in the county ofChristiiif 1nd Stnte of Illinois, have invented new and usefulIniprovcmcnts in Gutter-Hangers, of which the following isspecification.

This invention relates to gutter hangers.

An object of the invention is to provide a gutter hanger which will. besimple in construction, durable in. use and which. will have combinedtherewith such structural features as to permit the hanger to be reachily associated with and disconnected item a gutter and which will alsobe constructed whereby it may be readily attached to or removed from theroof of. a. building.

In the drawing forming a portion of this application, and in which likeletters of reference indicate similar parts in. the several views z-Fignre l'is a section. tl-nough a. guttcr showingthe application of the.llonger thereto. Fig. 2 is o perspective view of th hanger.

11c hanger comprises an embracing maml which is preferably constructedof sheet, galvanized metal. This member comprises a curved bottomportion 2 which is adapted to be extended beneath the bot.- tom andagainst. the sides of the gutter A as shown in Fig. i. The yortion 2 iscon nectcd by the 100 J portion 3 to the top horizontal bar 42. The loop3 is offset as at 5 from the bar 4 so that the letter when nsso 35ciatcd with the gutter is disposed below the plan of the upper edge ofthe gutter. The i 4 t has its free end doubled on itself .omed topresent a hook G in which med a rectangular opening 7. The u of themember 1 is adapted to receive the E'Olltltl front edge B oflthe gutter,while I ,1Llgl'lt rear crigeof the gutter is adopted to be extendedbeneath. the tongue 8 of the hook '6.

With a View to securely holding; the member l properly associated withthe gutter I form on the free end of the portion 2 a. tongue 9 which isadapted to be extended. through the slot 7 in the hook 6 and then areboth struck up 02' upset against tllonpper side of the portion 13.. Ifdesired solder may be poured over the tongues often they .are stamped uas shown 111 Fig. so os to hold them in t eir connected positions.

The bracket 11 is adopted. to be extended 1 beneath the shingles of atoofenclliy ranging the passages 15 os'shown, nails or like fastening"devices mo v be driven though the shingles and through. the passages 15without liability of splitting the shingles. As stated the bar 4: isdisposed below the plane of the upper edge of thc gutter and in Viewthereof water dropping fiiom the roof and following the bracket 11 willbe taken up by the bar 4:. Te abruptness of the hook of the bar 4 andthe offset 5 serve to prevent, the watt-1 from flowing mycapillaryottrection over the sides of the vcs l. its stated the waterwill he collected 1. bar 4 where it, will be tree to drip directly intothe gutter as is understood.

I claim:
